10 Greatest Horror Movies Villains Of The 2020s So Far

10. The Creatures - Underwater

Though they may seem a little basic by today's standards, there's nothing wrong with a good old-fashioned creature feature.

After all, the subgenre helped establish horror in the mainstream around a century ago. Justice for Boris Karloff!

One movie that sought a return to simpler times was 2020's Underwater, starring Kirsten Stewart as a medical engineer aboard a stricken submarine. Whilst drilling in the Mariana Trench, the craft gets struck by an earthquake, which means it's up to Bella Swan and her pals to save the day.

The movie is... it's fine. Like, there's nothing particularly special about it. It's a perfectly acceptable disaster movie. However, what really makes it stand out are the fantastically-designed aquatic monsters that stalk the crew at every turn.

The creatures are a real throwback to the likes of the Xenomorph from Alien or Bruce the shark from Jaws - single-mindedly ruthless animals with a terrain advantage over the humans. They are frightening in the very simplest of senses, as they pick off the submerged survivors one by one.

Sometimes it's okay to go back to basics when you do it right.
